Abstract: A printing blanket has a compressible elastomeric blanket (12) secured to the top surface of a metal base plate (14) except at the ends of the blanket. An anti-slip layer is on the end(s) of the top surface for retaining the ends of the plate within a gap on a print cylinder. The layer has a greater friction coefficient than the base plate and is thick enough to permit insertion of the base plate edges and ends into the gap. A sealant (36) may prevent liquid entering along the edges of the blanket. The sealant is a polymer of nitrile, acrylic, fluorocarbon, urethane, cyanoacrylate and/or epoxy.

Abstract: It is shown metallocenes with functionalized bridge of formula <CHEM> wherein M represents a transition metal from groups 3, 4, 5 or 6, L represents cyclopentadienyl-type ligands, Y represents a halogen and which can own one or various bridges between unities L. At least one of these bridges is functionalized through a group constituted by the union between a halogen atom and a silicon, germanium or tin atom. It is also shown a method for the synthesis of these metallocene compounds starting from the corresponding metallic halure and a precursor of the ligand with leaving groups. The functionalization shown by these compounds gives them a peculiar reactivity that can be used for the formation of new metallocene derivatives, including bi- or polymetallocene compounds. This reactivity is shown in the present document through examples with alcohol-type substrates.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une prothèse auditive 'intra-conque' comprenant un obturateur (1), destiné à être inséré dans le conduit auditif externe et doté d'une paroi en forme de coque faisant face à l'intérieur du conduit auditif externe, et une plaque frontale (2) extérieure. L'obturateur et la plaque frontale définissent ensemble une cavité (3) généralement fermée, dans laquelle sont placés les différents composants de la prothèse auditive. Une liaison acoustique, sous la forme d'un flexible ou d'un tube (13), est réalisée entre un orifice (14) du côté extérieur de la partie de la paroi de l'obturateur (1) faisant face à l'intérieur du conduit auditif externe et le volume restant (12) de la cavité interne de l'obturateur (1). Cette liaison acoustique forme avec le volume (12) restant un circuit acoustique dont la fréquence de résonance se situe approximativement dans la plage de celle des premiers organes formateurs de sons vocaux de l'utilisateur. On obtient ainsi une réduction significative de l'effet d'occlusion d'une manière simple dans une prothèse auditive.

Abstract: Various skin disorders, excluding acne are treated by topical application to the skin of a tretinoin-containing composition including tretinoin in a dermatologically acceptable vehicle at such a concentration and applied in such a way as to induce desquamation of the skin to ameliorate the disorder. Preferably the compositions contain greater than 0.1 weight percent tretinoin, and more preferably at least 0.2 weight percent. The vehicle is preferably a solvent for the tretinoin, such as an alcohol/glycol or hydroalcoholic vehicle, but it is also possible to apply the tretinoin in a non-solvent vehicle such as emulsifying or suspending the tretinoin in a cream, dressing, gel, ointment or liquid polymer. The treatment achieves rapid amelioration of skin disorders such as photodamaged skin, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, premalignant cancers, wrinkles, superficial scarring, epidermal atrophy and atypia, and keratosis pilaris by daily or every other day application for about one to two months. Thereafter, the high strength applications may be tapered and the treated skin maintained with more conventional lower concentration compositions.

Abstract: A computer controlled braking system utilizes gross vehicle weight of a materials handling vehicle and maximum allowable vehicle speeds to calculate braking force in response to a service brake request. For vehicles equipped with a caster brake, the calculated braking force is proportionally distributed between a drive brake and the caster brake. The drive brake includes a mechanical brake and motor braking which is performed by a traction motor. The drive brake force is divided between the mechanical brake and the motor braking so that the motor provides as much braking as possible to reduce wear on the mechanical brake and also to conserve battery power. For vehicles equipped with a caster brake, the caster brake portion of the calculated braking force is determined as a programmable percentage of the total braking force and can differ based on travel direction. The caster brake portion is clipped and reverts to the drive brake if it is below a minimum; and, if the calculated caster brake force is greater than a maximum, the caster brake force in excess of the maximum is clipped and reverts to the drive brake. A maximum caster brake current can be set to accommodate different brake hardware. A user of the vehicle can select adjustments to the calculated drive brake force and, if provided, can also select independent adjustments to the calculated caster brake force. If the vehicle has not substantially stopped within a given period of time after having its speed reduced to a low speed, the mechanical drive brake is fully applied.

Abstract: The intraosseous implant intended to be fitted in a bone is provided on the surface with a specific roughness, the implant surface having depressions (1) with a depth (c) of about 20 mum to about 60 mum. At the bottom of the depressions (1) there are base faces (2), and between the depressions (1) there are plateau faces (3). Base faces (2) and plateau faces (3) have a horizontal extent (a, b) of about 10 mum to about 20 mum. These depressions (1) are ideally as smooth as possible, i.e. they have no surface roughness below the cellular dimension. Obliquely ascending side faces (4) extend from the base faces (2) to the plateau faces (3), and the angle of inclination (alpha) between the horizontal and the side faces (4) is about 30° maximum. Below the upper neck portion, the implant has a self-tapping thread, and the neck portion of the implant is provided with a porcelain-like coating. The surface energy and surface tension of the implant are kept as low as possible. Materials which can preferably be used for the implants are titanium, titanium-based alloys or porcelain-like substances. The surface structure results in an implant which, while providing sound immediate postoperative primary stability, is also distinguished by an accelerated and increased load-bearing capacity on account of more intensive osseointegration.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for personalized time-shifted programming. Digital content is retrieved, for example, from a digital library. Once retrieved, the content is stored locally, for example, on a personal computer. The locally stored content is transferred, in whole or in part, to a playback device that allows a user to listen to the content of the playback device. In one embodiment, the user may designate portions of a playback time provided by the playback device to various selections. For example, with a playback device that provides two hours of content, a user may wish to listen to one half hour of news, one half hour of a series and one hour of an book. Thus, the user may partition one quarter of playback time to each of news and the series and one half of the playback time to the book. In one embodiment, the present invention provides different automatic update techniques for the playback device that may be selected by the user based on how the content is to be used. For example, the news portion may be one half hour of the most recent news available from a particular source. The series may be the most recent episode in the series, whether or not the user has listened to other stored episodes. The book portion may provide one hour of the book from the most recent stopping place each time the playback device is coupled to the library retrieval device.
